Not positive but I think 10 is normal & 14 is overboost under certain limited conditions. On Map 6 I have 16psi available all the time. Delta is up to 65whp on some 335is with a tune only & 40% E85 in 93 octane.

When I get time will log Map 4 (stock) to see what the boost looks like.

Me too bro I'd have done helix but my indy never called me back. Although my hose to the turbo popped off and I was getting boost leak so hopefully its fixed (had to leave the cobb on for the dealer visit due to it only throwing codes in that mode). I just hope its not a clamp issue that will continue to crop up each time I boost.

That's exactly why I ended up with Dinan. I left several messages (phone and email) with local shops and couldn't seem to get any solid communication going. The BMW dealer was more than happy to earn some extra coin. Plus with them installing, I should be a bit safer if any issues crop up.

lol speak for yourself they tell me my turbo hoses keep popping off after install and I can't get my car back never thought FMIC would be so hard... I agree though nobody around here wants work lmao, I called shops left and right to do oil cooler and nobody wanted to do it. One guy sounded awesome who even said he'd get me stainless steel hoses but never called back for a quote.

You guys really need to learn how to do your own bolt-ons. None of these basic ones are rocket science. A 5” FMIC should take less than an hour for a first timer. Trick with an IS is to remove the fan first. A big 7” one might take twice as long if you are careful cutting the plastic. If its sheading the hoses its most likely the clamps. Worm drive clamps are not too good. T bolt clamps work well & are easy to get very tight.

I'm pretty mechanically inclined and have a grand array of tools in my chest! Time is what I am missing. I would like to dig in myself though and learn a bit more about the motor.

My intercooler should be here soon, also went with ets 5.. Didn't want to do any plastic shroud cutting. How difficult is it to remove fan on n54?
